Of course Jesus Christ dying for everyone's sins forever would be completely counterproductive to our well being. Being sorry isn't the base. The base is the acceptance of a higher power than yourself. And acting as if life makes a fuck to you personally.
I'm not sure how to parse that last sentence. How does life make a fuck to me? That seems a bit... too cozy. If Kat Dennings "makes a fuck to me personally" then I'm alright with that. She can make a whole lot of fucks to me. Life... not too sure about that.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
